Reunion 2016 - Dallas

The Brown/Ewing Family Reunion 2016 was hosted by DeAnthony Rainey, August 5 through August 7. The event photographer provided almost 300 photographs that I have attempted herein to whittle down to 71 that provide a beautiful but manageable overview. This was an agonizing task! I have also attempted to organize the photos based somewhat on event chronologically and by family subgroups. I have labeled the portrait photos (48-71) to the best of my ability. I apologize in advance for any errors. Your corrections are encouraged.

2014 Summer in KC

The picnic organized by Claudette Rainey's children, Cheryl chief among them, was absolutely fantastic! The whole weekend was a rich family event but the picnic was the apex. Mom and I met descendants of many of Mama and Papa Brown's children. Offhand, we met the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Alice (including yours truly), Mickey (James), Claude, Paul, Marguerite, Rosalee, and Annabelle.

While the visit was wonderful the travel portion was very difficult for my mother. We knew this going in but she very much wanted to go anyway. This was likely the last time she will see the place of her birth and childhood.

Please enjoy the picnic pics below. My thanks go to Valerie Brown and Lynda Daniels for sending them to me. They were taken by cell phone. (I apologize for appearing in most of them; when I asked for their photos they must have assumed that's what I meant.) If anyone has other photos please send them to me by email, tony@rcoclaims.com, or text message, (925) 519-8426.
